In the ever-turning carousel of fashion, where trends rise and fall as quickly as a coastal tide, it’s easy to feel swept away by the latest looks. But the secret to true, timeless style lies not in following the whims of the moment, but in finding pieces that make you feel extraordinary. As the legendary Vivienne Westwood wisely said, “If you love something, wear it all the time... Find things that suit you. That's how you look extraordinary.”
And that’s the essence of personal style—it’s about discovering what makes you feel confident, comfortable, and radiant, without getting distracted by the next big thing.
The Pitfalls of Chasing Trends
The fashion industry loves to dictate what’s “in” this season. One moment it’s oversized blazers and chunky boots, and the next, it’s delicate silk scarves and kitten heels. Keeping up can feel exhausting, not to mention expensive. But here's the thing: trends are fleeting by design. What flatters you today may not be on the cover of a glossy magazine tomorrow.
Coco Chanel, a woman who built her empire on elegant simplicity, once said, "Fashion fades, only style remains the same." What she knew—and what we should all remember—is that trends are fun to play with, but personal style is what gives you lasting confidence. Instead of constantly updating your wardrobe to keep pace with the trend du jour, invest in pieces that feel true to you, that reflect your personality and lifestyle.
Crafting Your Signature Look
Building a personal style isn’t about having a closet full of clothes; it’s about knowing what works for you. Audrey Hepburn understood this concept well, famously stating, “Why change? Everyone has their own style. When you have found it, you should stick to it.” Her iconic looks—those slim black trousers, crisp button-ups, and delicate accessories—are as relevant today as they were in her heyday, not because they were trendy, but because they were quintessentially her.
So, how do you find your style? The answer is simple: by paying attention to what makes you feel amazing. Do you reach for vintage-inspired dresses because you adore the nostalgia they bring? Or are you more drawn to minimalist chic, with clean lines and neutral tones? Let these preferences guide you. Your wardrobe should feel like an extension of you—not a checklist of what’s hot on the runway.
The Power of Accessories
While clothing is foundational, it's the accessories that elevate your look into something uniquely yours. A signature piece of jewelry, whether it’s an heirloom pendant, a stack of rings, or bold earrings, can instantly transform an outfit. These little touches are your secret weapon in standing out from the crowd.
Consider pieces from Lula Sea Jewellery—elegant, but with a playful twist. A pair of statement earrings like the Pincer Studs, or a beautifully set gemstone ring like our Lula Sea Sugarplum Ring, can act as your personal signature. They’re not just accessories; they’re pieces that speak to who you are, making you feel confident, radiant, and entirely yourself.
Remember, real style is about feeling at ease in your own skin and making choices that reflect your individuality. Trends may come and go, but your personal style is forever. So, if you love it, wear it unapologetically. After all, that’s how you look extraordinary.
